IHT.com Article: N.Y.'s 'other expats' in search of a home

from The New York Times
SATURDAY, JULY 9, 2005

In this city of dozens of convivial ethnic neighborhoods,
there are some people who do not have one.

New York can be a particularly lonely place for certain expatriates
like Australians, British, Japanese and Norwegians who are without
neighborhoods because, unlike true immigrants, so many are there
for a limited run, either working for a few years for a native company
or jump-starting a career in fashion, art or the news media.
Many have left large families behind and some vacillate painfully
between staying in New York permanently or returning.
